Kilkerran 12 year old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Glengyle Distillery 46% 70cl
During Kilkerran’s 12 week production period, the majority of the time is spent producing lightly peated, double distilled new make spirit, with three weeks then dedicated to heavily peated and one week to each unpeated and triple distilled new make. This allows the Distillery to share and enjoy different impressions of the Kilkerran character.
Kilkerran 12 year old provides a fitting introduction to the Kilkerran range, with characteristic citrus notes and an oiliness on the palate. Matured in 70% Bourbon and 30% Sherry casks.
Lightly peated and bottled at 46%.
Nose: Notes of sweet confectionery introduce this dram, with turkish delight, pear drops and marzipan apparent on the nose. There are hints of subtle peat smoke, like toasted marshmallows by a campfire.
Palate: Initially zesty with citrus notes of lemon cheesecake and an oiliness typical of a Campbeltown whisky. Peat smoke, leather bound books and peppery, spicy notes develop over time, along with sweet sticky toffee pudding.
Finish: The peat smoke carries through to the finish in campfire embers, with sweet hints of pecan pie and butterscotch.
